Suddenly my keyboard cannot type an accent above a letter. Always when i try, something like this: ~~ comes out...

Any ideas on how to fix this

(please please please don't say FORMAT)

Well - all the Firefox heroes keep saying "Firefox fixes all " - so try Firefox.. or a Mac :P

It does not happen only on IE...that's the thing...

About the mac...i'm off to college in the US in a few months, if everything goes right.... then no more PC for me...

Unless vista is reeeaally good

So it doesn't work anywhere other than in IE?

And why get a mac laptop?

Hm.. are the accent symbols somethign that you had to program in the Character map?

Maybe one of your shift/alt/ctrl keys are stuck?

Give a little bit more info..

No, they are standard keys on the Brazilian keyboard. This looks like it might be a) a virus or b) driver problems...

The double accenting happens everywhere...word, ie, msn...

Maybe bad keyboard? Try a USB keyboard or something external if your on a laptop. If that doesnt solve than a virus or bad driver and I would just reformat even though you said you dont want to reformat.
